91: Fans are stunned, new video released
In a rented room in Shancheng.
The walls were covered with Seiya posters, especially a three-meter-long personal poster of Ye Chun, the spear-wielding character from Age of Glory, looking mighty and extraordinary. It even had Ye Chun's autograph, which was Bao Gaoshua's treasure.
As a loyal Seiya fan, although he regretted and was sad about Ye Chun's retirement, he didn't unfollow but continued to pay attention to Seiya's activities.
When he discovered that Seiya announced its entry into the Xuanhuan World, he couldn't understand it.
"Xuanhuan World? A new game that isn't even a full release, why would Seiya's main team go into it? Jiang Feng of that Huan Meng, how much money did you spend?"
Bao Gaoshua had a prejudice against Xuanhuan World.
In fact, it wasn't just him; many Age of Glory players also had a prejudice against Xuanhuan World.
To be precise, they were prejudiced against all new games in the Ancient Style Game Competition.
"Age of Glory is a seven-year-old game, and its predecessor, Prosperous Glory, was a super classic competitive game that existed on PC. After so many years of refinement, it has become the best game in the entire Federation. Why would a mere new game..."
Bao Gaoshua's anger didn't come out of nowhere.
The rise of a new game is bound to compete for traffic with older games, which has a particularly strong impact on commercial clubs, potentially leading to the disbandment of game teams that fans have supported for over a decade, and their entry into completely unfamiliar new games.
This was a huge blow to old fans, leading to resentment towards the new game.
"And it's just an open-world game, what's so difficult about it? What needs to be competitive? Isn't it just mindlessly drawing cards, spending money on characters and equipment? What's fun about that?"
Bao Gaoshua's demands for Xuanhuan World increased, but he was still curious about how Xuanhuan World could attract commercial clubs. He couldn't help but log into the forum.
After looking at it, he was completely stunned.
【Green Grass, Red Rain, Liu Zhuan, three clubs suffer huge blows!】
【Plotting for a Golden Core Legacy? Or wiped out by a Golden Core Expert!】
【Big news, thousands of players from three clubs all captured!】
【Bad start, can Green Grass still successfully establish a Sect?】
【Red Rain Captain Wen Xinghai accepts an interview, stating that Red Rain was not mistreated by Heshui Prefecture, they merely strategically defected】
【Liu Zhuan Captain Zong Zishui did not appear; it is reported that he has been controlled by Duan Kong Cave】
"What's going on?"
Bao Gaoshua was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing: "All three of these teams crashed? They can crash even playing an open-world game? How embarrassing!"
As a Seiya fan, seeing his competitors crash and embarrass themselves, Bao Gaoshua felt incredibly pleased.
"It seems this Xuanhuan World might be a bit interesting?"
Bao Gaoshua carefully read the posts and gained some understanding of Xuanhuan World.
It turned out that these three teams wanted to clear a certain instance, but they were captured by the native Golden Core and forced to Cultivate the Void Gazer Dao Tradition.
Professional players suppressed by NPCs?
This was probably the funniest thing of the year; the entire e-sports circle was laughing. It was said that even the usually carefree Shao Kaitian didn't accept interviews this time, completely losing face.
"It's a good thing our Seiya people haven't lost face... Wait a minute..."
After laughing for a while, a strange thought suddenly arose in Bao Gaoshua's mind.
What if Seiya's people were also suppressed by the natives of Xuanhuan World?
That also seems a bit interesting, doesn't it?
What if he even entered the game, got close to a native expert first, and then suppressed the players he admired?
"Hey, this Xuanhuan World really seems a bit interesting."
Bao Gaoshua's mind stirred. He immediately bought the game and happily lay down in the VR pod... There were quite a few players like Bao Gaoshua.
Professional players have strong skills and even stronger awareness, gradually creating a huge gap with ordinary players, even making people lose any desire to challenge them.
But now everyone has discovered that on the stage of Xuanhuan World, Realm is everything. Even if you are a strong professional player, at most you can be evenly matched with Foundation Establishment Early Stage and Late Stage, but one Realm higher, you will still be crushed.
So, if I enter Xuanhuan World and improve my Realm first, can I also crush these professional players?
Quite a few players had this idea, and Xuanhuan World experienced another sales boom for a time.
Even Jiang Feng, who was observing, had to admit that these professional players were truly popular, and their entry into Xuanhuan World indeed brought considerable publicity.
"The regrettable thing is that professional players are not only strong in their operations, nor only strong in their tactical awareness; they are strong in all aspects, able to adapt to various games and find the optimal solution for the game.
"After this setback, professional players and the clubs behind them will surely collect more information and find better strategies. They won't suffer such easy losses again.
"And..."
Jiang Feng scrolled through the forum and sighed: "Although professional players are popular and clubs crashing is indeed a talking point for netizens, why haven't normal players discovered the problem with this wave?"
The Golden Core Tomb event was the first large-scale server-wide event held in Xuanhuan World, with generous prizes, attracting countless players.
And Jiang Feng also intended to use this event to reveal more of the underlying Laws of Xuanhuan World, allowing players to understand more Xuanhuan settings and delve into the deeper Xuanhuan social System.
For example, the Dao Lineage setting, which will run through the entire Xuanhuan World. Players will increasingly discover that Cultivation Technique, skills, spells, Qi Gathering Method, etc., are not randomly matched. They affect not only "Fellow Immortal Foundation" but also future potential and the various Opportunities one can access, or the Karma relationships with other Cultivators, making them crucial.
But current players are completely Cultivating Cultivation Techniques and learning spells casually. They don't know that perhaps a certain Cultivation Technique they are learning is something long lost by a famous Dao Lineage. Once exposed... Yes, the Cultivation Techniques bestowed upon players by the Golden Finger at the start are actually booby-trapped.
And besides Dao Lineage, the setting of Golden Core Expert is also something this event will reveal.
These experts are not only powerful but also the chess players on the board.
It's not that every action of low-level Cultivators is under their gaze, but almost everything related to Secret Realm and Opportunity is under their attention. Even some "coincidences" and "accidents" are their chess pieces.
This terrifying sense of oppression will make Golden Core Expert a nightmare for players, making arrogant players humble themselves and cautiously survive in the dark Xuanhuan World.
And smart players will also seek the status of a chess piece, using the plans of these Golden Core big figures to achieve their own advancement... "Unfortunately, no player has realized this yet."
Jiang Feng shook his head and continued browsing the posts, then suddenly stopped: "Eh? Someone has realized it."
It was a traffic-driving post, directing to This Time Bu Ge's new video, titled:
【The High Cultivator Who Controls Everything】
